LIBERTY ISLAND ECOLOGICAL RESERVE — The Delta Stewardship Council has sided with a group that argued the state Department of Water Resources did not adequately address the issue of public access and recreational opportunities related to the Lookout Slough Tidal Habitat Restoration and Flood Management Project. “Liberty Island Access won our appeal against the California Department of Water Resources Lookout Slough Project,” Taylor

Dahlke, one of the leaders of the access group, said in an email to the Daily Republic. He said the July 16 decision could be “the first time that an appeal has succeeded against any project brought to the Delta Stewardship Council.” That could not be confirmed. The group has been fighting to maintain land access to Shag Slough and the Liberty Island Ecological Reserve, which they said would be lost if the project moves forward as planned. The project will not receive a permit to proceed from the Delta Stewardship Council until

Department of Water Resources addresses the concerns related to recreation access, Dahlke stated in the email. While details are still pending, Dahlke wrote that the next steps are likely to be conversations with the relevant state and local parties “to try and hammer out a plan for recreation.” Solano County Supervisor Mitch Mashburn, who represents the area, said he fully expects state representatives to come to the county for help in addressing the recreation issue.

Suisun hosts resource fair for homeless Amy Maginnis-Honey amaginnis@dailyrepublic.net

SUISUN CITY — Free phones, healthy snacks and a bevy of resources welcomed the homeless Wednesday as local agencies that help transient residents hosted a resource fair across from the train station. Many of the same organizations banded together to host a similar event earlier this month at Allan Witt Park in Fairfield. Will Bible, of Resource Connect Solano, was at

the Fairfield event and called it very successful. “A lot of people need assistance, we are able to provide as a community,” he said. “I am hoping we can bring the same to Suisun City.” The location is key, he said. Allan Witt Park draws a number of homeless. The same for the train depot parking lot, across from the train station in Suisun City. “We meet them where they are,” Bible said. “Many can’t make it to See Fair, Page A6

VACAVILLE — The City Council voted Tuesday night to put tax liens on residents who have delinquent garbage collection accounts with Recology Vacaville Solano. The council voted 5-1 on the proposal with one dissent vote from Vice Mayor Nolan Sullivan. Councilwoman Jeanette Wylie was absent. The city as of Friday had 442 residents delinquent at a cost of $148,919.16 to Recology. There are also 153 nonresident property owners delinquent at a cost of $43,013.99. These residents have received three notices through the mail through the first half of 2021. Recology Vacaville Solano has an exclusive account with the city

for garbage collection and has been working on a case-by-case basis with delinquent account holders to find payment plans that would work for them. The number of delinquent accounts has fallen from 595 to 442 in the past month. By comparison, in 2020, there were 634 delinquent accounts costing $197,044.83, which Recology’s Scott Pardini noted has decreased despite the continued constraints on some customers by the Covid-19 pandemic. The Recology Vacaville Solano office has been closed due to the pandemic. It will reopen Monday for in-person customer service. The liens will go out to the county Aug. 10. Sullivan said he hoped that one final notice could go out to delin-

FINAL WEEKS

WASHINGTON — Even with production glitches, transportation bottlenecks and labor shortages, the U.S. economy grew in the second quarter at one of the fastest rates in decades, lifting the nation’s total output above where it was before Covid-19 hit, according to government data released Thursday. “That we were able to recover so quickly is astounding,” said Beth Ann Bovino, U.S. chief economist at S&P Global Ratings. The question now is whether the extraordinary growth surge reflects the basic strength of the economy, or stems from other factors that could fade away. The extra federal aid for the unemployed in

many states does not expire until Sept. 6. Previous government relief efforts approved during the height of the early pandemic shutdown are still helping the economy. And even if Congress whittles down President Joe Biden’s massive infrastructure plan, many analysts expect a significant new burst of federal spending to be approved. Bovino credited what she calls “revenge spending” for the rapid growth. “Everybody was locked up for so many months, they’re going to go out, they’re going to party – and I can’t blame them,” she said. “Right now, it’s V-day for the United States.” The Commerce Department said that the nation’s gross domes-

of having the Fairfield mayor decided directly by the people and culminated in a change to the law. So in March 1976, Fairfield had its first mayoral election. On the ticket were frontrunners Berger, then-Fairfield Vice Mayor Bill Jenkins and also-ran Charlie Challburg. On Feb. 10, 1976, a Daily Republic article highlighted each candidate. Berger focused on broad themes of the government doing less and the private sector doing more, getting citizens more involved in government and also detailed her impressive resume. Jenkins honed in on specific accomplishments and touted the fact that he was the only council member to hold regular office hours for the public. He also listed his experience as vice mayor, filling in when needed for the mayor, and that he’d voted for transportation projects included the DART (Dial-A-Ride Transit) and Fairfield flyer buses. On Feb. 29, 1976, the Daily Republic ran an article called “Local Listening Posts: Who’s Gonna Win Tuesday?” The reporter queried people at several local barbershops, eateries and imbibing stations to gauge how Fairfielders felt about the upcoming mayoral election. Among the local establishments included were Chico’s Barbershop, Howard Johnson’s, Brady’s Bar, Dick’s Seafood Grotto, the Geronimo Room in the Fairfield Bowl and Mac’s Tavern. The overwhelming response was, “meh.” The article did not mention how well-coiffed, well-fed and well-lubricated the reporter was after doing his “research.” On Election Day,

A compilation of newspaper clippings shows Judge Georgia Crowley, left, and Robbieburr Berger. Both women have streets named after them. Tuesday, March 2, 1976, the final tally was Jenkins 2,834, Berger 2,768 and Challburg 200. Robbieburr Berger lost by just 66 votes. The next day, she filed a request for a recount. “It is apparent that there has been mistakes, errors or misconduct in the counting because total votes cast for mayor do not equal total votes cast for city council candidates in 20 of the 29 precincts,” her written request said. City Clerk Colin Hutcheon explained that in most cases, mayor and council vote totals do not agree because some voters voted for one office without voting for others. For example, the incumbent treasurer who ran unopposed received about 700 fewer votes than the total votes cast. A ballot does not have to include votes for all offices in order to be counted. Still, the recount,

which cost Berger $112, took place two weeks later. The four-person crew assigned to the recount performed it in the council chamber observed by Hutcheon with Berger and Jenkins or their representatives present the entire time. Hutcheon’s explanation was borne out by the recount in that some ballots had no vote for mayor or the mayor’s section had been rejected for unclear markings. In other cases, precinct inspectors wrongly rejected some ballots because they had two rather than one vote for city council, but only one in the mayoral race. Those ballots were counted in the recount because each race is judged separately. The recount did in fact change the total. But not much and not the way Berger hoped it would. Jenkins gained a total of five votes and Berger a

total of four, for a net gain of one vote for Jenkins. Poor Charlie Challburg lost one, making his neat and tidy 200 a more pedestrian-looking 199. Jenkins was sworn in as mayor, however just over a year later he resigned to take a job that would have been a conflict of interest. In the special election for mayor in 1977, Berger ran again, but was soundly defeated by Gary Falati. She died in 2000 at the age of 75. In April 2021, the Fairfield City Council, which now has three female members, voted to name a street in Robbieburr Berger’s honor.

County holds firm on mask policy despite state recommendation Todd R. Hansen

thansen@dailyrepublic.net

FAIRFIELD — Solano’s top health official said the county is not changing its Covid-19 guidance to include a recommendation to wear masks in indoor public settings. “Our position is that the (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) and the state have issued that recommenda- matyas tion and people can do what they feel is appropriate,” Dr. Bela Matyas, the county public health officer, said in a phone interview Wednesday. The CDC and state Public Health recommendations apply to everyone, whether vaccinated or not.

Matyas said the evidence of how and where the virus is spreading does not support the action in Solano County. “I don’t think the recommendations are warranted given the data that is available,” Matyas said. “The real useful recommendation would be for people to wear masks at parties and (other) social and family settings.” He reiterated that those who are being infected have been unvaccinated. The county reported 221 new coronavirus cases since Monday’s update, a two-day average of 110.5, which takes the pandemic total to 35,703.

The number of individuals who are hospitalized with the disease climbed from 45 to 51. active cases The jumped from 451 Monday to 831 Wednesday, and the seven-day positivity testing rate climbed from 16.8% to 19.1%, the county reported. The vaccination rate held steady at 58% for residents 12 or older who have been fully vaccinated, and 69% for those who have received at least one shot. Matyas also announced four more Covid-related deaths, three of which date back to 2020, and the other from February. He said they were discovered as part of a systematic review of known Covid cases to determine outcomes and death certificates, and a follow-up

Solano backs immunization, Covid-19 vaccination push for children over 12 Daily Republic Staff drnews@dailyrepublic.net

FAIRFIELD — Solano County health officials are linking Covid-19 vaccinations with child immunizations, launching the “Bee-wise Immunize” campaign. The county reported in a statement released Wednesday that there has been a “significant decline in well-child visits and immunizations during the pandemic.” “Childhood immunizations are an important part of public health as they prevent the spread of

contagious and dangerous diseases,” said Dr. Bela Matyas, Solano County health officer, in the statement. “We want to keep children healthy, protect them from vaccine-preventable diseases, and prepare them for returning back to school in the fall and as other activities resume.” The campaign encourages parents to get their children up to date on routine visits and vaccinations, and at the same time, to get Covid-19 vaccinations, which are recommended for everyone who is 12 or older.

Covid-19 information • Homebound individuals interested in requesting an in-home vaccination appointment are encouraged to call the Covid-19 vaccine line at 784-8655 for scheduling assistance. • Residents without transportation to and from vaccine sites hosted by Solano County are encouraged to call the Covid-19 vaccine line at 784-8655 and arrange for a free ride through Uber. • For upcoming vaccine clinics in Solano County, visit SolanoCounty.com/CovidVaccine. • For vaccine clinics available throughout the state, visit MyTurn.ca.gov or Vaccines.gov. • For local Covid-19 health information, including the number of Covid-19 cases in Solano County as reflected on the Covid-19 dashboard, visit SolanoCounty.com/ Covid19 and on Facebook at Facebook.com/ SolanoCountyPH (@SolanoCountyPH).

Fairfield police honor their own at employee recognition reception Matt Miller

mmiller@dailyrepublic.net

FAIRFIELD — Michael Pena was named the 2020 Officer of the Year for the Fairfield Police Department at a recognition reception Wednesday at Willow Hall in the Fairfield Community Center. It was the first public reception of honors for the department since 2019. Last year’s event was canceled because of the Covid-19 pandemic. Sgt. John Divine said Pena was selected “in part due to his worth ethic, dedication to the department and his sense of teamwork.” “He is well-liked and respected by his peers, is always willing to provide assistance to his shift partners, and often called

upon for the use of his K-9 partner, Cort,” Divine said. Pena handled 66 deployments of his K-9 in 2020, four of which resulted in the apprehension of what police describe as dangerous felons. Office specialist Kelli Sievers was named Employee of the Year. Enith Medina-Rodriguez was recognized as Explorer of the Year. Sgt. Nick McDowell said that Sievers “always takes initiative, experiments with different ideas, and drops whatever she is working on to help others.” Officer Johnathan Reed said Medina-Rodriguez “has displayed exemplary leadership skills and is always willing to assist her fellow Explorers and department personnel.”

McCormick recalls seasonings amid concerns Here’s a dash of bad news. McCormick & Co. is recalling certain seasonings amid concerns of possible salmonella contamination. The company on Monday shared a release announcing the voluntary recall of McCormick Perfect Pinch Italian Seasoning, McCormick Culinary Italian Seasoning, and Frank’s RedHot Buffalo Ranch Seasoning. At the time of the announcement, no illnesses had been reported in connection with the issue. Information for the affected products, including their UPC number, and the affected date codes, can be found in the release. The FDA notified the company of the risk during routing testing, according to the release. The company said it alerted customers and grocery stores to immediately pull the affected products from both shelves and distribution centers. They advised those parties to destroy the product. Rather than return the product to the store of purchase, consumers are encouraged to dispose of both the product and the container and call McCormick Consumer Affairs at 1-800-635-2867 for a full refund, replacement, or other questions.

Campers at Camp Adobe got to learn about, and explore, firefighting equipment thanks to the Cal Fire Gordon Valley Fire Station staff.

VACAVILLE — This week’s Camp Adobe theme was “Camp Wilderness,” making it a great time to teach youngsters about fire safety in the wilderness. Firefighters and a captain from the Cal Fire Gordon Valley Station stopped by to visit with the campers. The event also

afforded the campers a chance to see firefighting equipment up close. Each camper got a chance to sit in the fire engine and take turns “manning” the firehose and shoot water. It was reported everyone enjoyed the stickers, coloring books and brochures to take home to their parents. Organizers of the camp report that a favorite was

the lights and siren as the firefighters drove away after spending 90 minutes with campers. Camp Adobe is a partnership between the Peña Adobe Historical Society and the city of Vacaville. It was launched in 2015. Participants get to take part in a variety of activities at the oldest remaining structure built in Solano County. It was built in 1842.

Alaska peninsula rocked by largest quake to strike US in over 50 years Tribune Content Agency The Alaska peninsula was rocked late Wednesday night by the strongest earthquake to hit the United States since 1965. The powerful 8.2-magnitude quake struck just more than 50 miles south of Perryville, Alaska, around 10:15 p.m. local time, according to the US Geological Survey. So far, there have been at least two aftershocks, one with a magnitude of 6.2 while the other measured about 5.6. “This event was felt throughout the Alaska Peninsula and Kodiak,” according to the Alaska Earthquake Center. Tsunami warnings were issued in wake of the earthquake for parts of south Alaska, the Alaska Peninsula and the Aleutian Islands by the National Tsunami Warning Center. An advisory was also issued for southeast Alaska. The Alaska Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Management at the time tweeted that the State Emergency Operations Center “had been activated and is calling communities in the tsunami warning area.” All warnings have since been called off, but “strong and unusual currents may continue for several hours,” the National

Weather Center warned. A tsunami watch had also been put in place for Hawaii but was later canceled. “Based on all available data there is no tsunami threat,” the National Weather Service Pacific Tsunami Warning Center said. According to the Alaska Earthquake Center, Wednesday’s quake is the largest to strike the United States in more than 50 years. “In terms of seismic energy release, the 1965 Magnitude 8.7 was five times as energetic, and the 1964 Magnitude 9.2 Great Alaska Earthquake was 30 times more energetic than tonight’s Magnitude 8.2,” the agency said in a statement. The Great Alaska Earthquake is the largest ever to hit the United States. In addition to killing 15 people, the quake also triggered a tsunami that left 124 more dead.

Reclamation launches website with drought info Daily Republic Staff

drnews@dailyrepublic.net

FAIRFIELD — A new web portal provides realtime drought-related information and details on actions taken in response to the conditions. The U.S. Bureau of Reclamation announced the website Thursday. “Reclamation recognizes the 2021 water year is a historically difficult year for the 17 western states and for tribes, fisheries, wildlife, farmers and ranchers, and communities. We hope this tool will be a helpful resource for viewing real-time updates on drought conditions and learn more about what’s being done to combat this challenging drought situation,” bureau Deputy Commissioner Camille Calimlim Touton said in a statement. “Users of this web portal will be able to explore data-driven

mapping visualizations and delve into the new science and forecasting tools used to conduct water supply planning and optimization of water reservoir operations.” The site features an interactive multiple-page platform that highlights “efforts and investments to mitigate drought impacts, increase drought resiliency, reduce reliance on declining water sources and increase the efficiency of water deliveries,” the statement said. “The portal is user friendly and provides easy-to-understand features, explanations and current information on cutting-edge science, drought actions, current conditions and climate change visualizations that will help the public understand the complex drought conditions in the West.” The site can be found at www.usbr.gov/ addressing-drought/.

From Page One However, when all the analysis is completed, Mashburn said he does not think much will change. “I don’t think the Stewardship Council sending the project back to DWR . . . will change the project,” Mashburn said. That does not mean, however, that recreational access cannot be enhanced in other ways. Mashburn, during a May tour of the area, described recreational access as just one of a number of issues that need to be resolved. He has floated the idea of a walking bridge of some kind on a pontoon system as an access alternative. He said he also would like to see a boat launch developed near the area where Liberty Island Road becomes a levee road. Mashburn also noted his concerns about how emergency response units will get access to the area, and if they have to launch from Rio Vista,

Growth From Page One tic product, the broadest measure of economic output, expanded at an annual rate of 6.5% in the last quarter. Analysts were expecting a pace of about 8%, but a sharp drop in housing investment and higher inflation curtailed real growth. Still, apart from the initial snapback after the pandemic-induced plunge last year, the latest GDP increase was an increase from the first quarter’s 6.3% annual rate and marked the strongest growth of any quarter since 2003. Rising prices and especially the new coronavirus delta variant present threats to the recovery. But so far there’s been little effect on consumer spending, which accounts for about two-thirds of U.S. economic activity. Traffic at restaurants, airports and entertainment venues has held up well. And hotel occupancy is now above pre-pandemic levels as people make up for lost time visiting families and others move to new locales. In the second quarter, spending on services jumped 12% from the preceding three months, slightly more than for goods purchases. Many consumers still have a reservoir of Covid-19-inspired savings to satisfy their pent-up demand, while businesses and states and local governments got large infusions of federal assistance in the spring. “The scale of the government stimulus, both federal and state, is so huge that money can’t be spent fast enough, representing substantial future spending,” said Sung Won Sohn, professor of finance at Loyola

Fair From Page One the office.” Resource Connect Solano aims to connect the homeless with available resources. Each person he helps had their own story. The toughest for Bible are those who are 55 and older and have no home. Some have physical and/or mental disabilities. In some cases, they may have poor credit and/or an eviction, which is another challenge to getting them housing. “You just want to help them,” he said. There are also homeless youth, Bible said.

that could take too long in a critical situation. The Lookout Slough Project is a $118.86 million, 3,000acre habitat restoration and flood management project in the Cache Slough Complex. In order to create the habitat, a levee – atop which a section of Liberty Island Road runs – would be breached in nine locations. By doing so, Liberty Island Access asserts, it will deny residents land access to recreational activities such as kayaking, fishing and hiking. “Our group is very concerned about DWR’s Lookout Slough project, which is effectively a project to restore tidal wetlands in Solano County as part of a mitigation agreement with the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, etc., for Delta smelt preservation,” Dahlke told the Solano County Board of Supervisors in February. The state argues that the project creates miles of new waterways that will actually enhance those opportunities, but those wetland canals

would be accessible only by water. In fact, no one would be allowed on the land areas created. Dahlke has said that water-only access favors only those wealthy enough to have boats or other watercraft. The funding sources for the project are $97 million from the State Water Project and State Water Contractors, which has habitat mitigation obligations linked to their water allocation contracts, and more than $21.86 million from Proposition 1 flood control funds. The project is identi-

fied in the 2017 Central Flood Protection Plan. Combined with other projects in the area, the state reported, there will be 25 square miles (16,000 acres) of restored habitat. The state argued that during the environmental review of the project, no one from the public raised the issue of recreational access. Dahlke said he and his group were not even aware of the project until others using the Liberty Island area informed them of the project. He argued notices should have been posted on site.

Marymount University in Los Angeles. The new GDP report shows business spending also made solid gains in the last quarter. And strong corporate profits have buoyed stock markets, even as they have been more wobbly in recent days. Despite the caveats and uncertainties, most economists expect the economy to keep expanding at a rapid pace in the near term, with many forecasting GDP growth for all of 2021 at 6% to 7%, which would be the strongest since 1984. At the same time, both analysts and policymakers are paying especially careful attention to the delta variant because it may be uniquely capable of drastically altering their projections. States with low vaccination rates that have seen a surge of infections and hospitalizations lately, like Missouri and Louisiana, make up a relatively small part of the American economy and hence are not likely to be a big drag on national output. Florida, though, is an exception. Not only large, it has been one of the hardest hit by the variant and is showing some signs of weakening economic activity, according to various indicators compiled by Moody’s Analytics. Additionally, one of the ways that the variant could crimp the broader economy is by exacerbating production problems and the availability of goods for purchase-hungry consumers. infection Increased rates and more hospitalization could intensify labor shortages. A worsening pandemic could also cause more people to stay at home and more schools to remain online. Already, shortages of workers and supplies of critical products like

semiconductors have slowed economic activity, particularly in the car industry. In May economists at the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta projected annualized GDP growth of almost 14% for the quarter. But over successive weeks they cut that in half as manufacturers and car dealers struggled to meet booming demand, and deliveries of many goods were delayed by bottlenecks at ports and a lack of truck drivers and other workers. Soaring prices for homes and commodities like lumber also hurt homebuilding as well as sales for many small businesses. Tom Straus, owner of Straus Carpets in Oakland, California, said sales last month were the biggest in his 46 years of business. But it could have been even better had he been able to get supplies. Whether it’s wool carpets, vinyl tiles, plywood or glue or rubber paddings, deliveries have been running weeks or months behind normal times, he said. And finding workers hasn’t been any easier. About a month ago Straus bumped up the pay for installers by 15% to keep his employees happy in the face of rising prices for gas and food. “We placed an ad on Craigslist for installers as the business has gone crazy,” he said. As quickly as the nation has come out of the pandemic-induced downturn – which at two months was the shortest recession on record – the rebound has been highly uneven and could leave a permanent mark on the nation’s labor market. The economy has recovered about twothirds of the 22.3 million payroll jobs lost when the coronavirus first struck early last year. Workers have been slow

to return. Many older people have retired early, and some in the prime of their working lives may stay on the margins of the workforce. “It’s great that we brought back GDP to where it was in dollar terms to where we were in 2019, but that doesn’t mean that we’re back on the path where we were before,” said S&P’s Bovino. “We’re not. We’ve lost the workers.” Economists expect millions of jobs will be added in coming months, but don’t think all the jobs will be regained until the end of next year. And it’ll be even later before the unemployment rate – most recently at 5.9% – returns to the prepandemic level of 3.5%. The shrunken workforce coupled with a growing economy means that it’ll be a favorable climate for certain workers, particularly in transportation, manufacturing and service occupations. There are record openings and many people have quit jobs as they rethink work in the wake of the devastating pandemic. “For the foreseeable future, this is really an employees’ market,” said Leo Feler, an economist at the UCLA Anderson School of Management. “Employees have greater ability to jump between jobs, to be able to get better wages and better benefits than they had in the past. There’s still a lot of unemployment, but what you also have is companies desperately trying to hire as they ramp up to meet client and consumer demand.” Though the current quarter is looking as strong as the second, what happens in September may tell the tale of the near-term economy.

In many cases, another adult may be willing to let them couch surf. That is not the case with the elderly, he said. Keith Ali had several new phones in boxes awaiting new owners. The phone and service are free, he said, with some qualifications. “I just hope people show up,” Ali said. “It’s good for the community. I hope they come out in droves.” Ali said residents can also find free phones at the unemployment and welfare offices as well as the 99 Cent Store. Dawn La Bar, who oversees homeless services, special projects and neighborhood revitalization for the city of Fairfield, saw the news

on social media and came over to support a sister city. “We work closely together,” she said. La Bar said she hopes it will be the first of many homeless resource fairs in Suisun City. Suisun City Police Chief Aaron Roth shared in an email exchange the importance of the event for both the homeless and the Police Department. “An event like this is extremely important to our city’s population who are experiencing homelessness,” Roth wrote. “Our officers will often do outreach and offer shelter services or information regarding other available resources, but those resources are not housed in Suisun City.

“Having those resources coming into Suisun to directly assist our community is extremely important as some of our population have a hard time getting to the various offices or resource centers that are outside of the city,” Roth wrote. The Police Department did the outreach, visiting various encampments and handing out flyers. “We also have officers in the field today specifically assigned to contact individuals who might be able to benefit from the resource event and assist them to the location if they are interested,” Roth wrote.

How should South play in four spades against the club-two opening lead to the nine and three? East was tempted to support diamonds, but the adverse vulnerability dissuaded him. Oblivious to the danger, South immediately played a trump to his 10 and West’s king. Trusting his partner to have given a suit-preference signal at trick one, West shifted to the diamond three. After winning with the king, it wasn’t difficult for East to give his partner a club ruff. The trump ace was the defense’s fourth trick. South grumbled about the odds against finding West with three trumps, but North wasn’t impressed. He had noticed a perm that was a cut above the rest. “Why not play a heart to the king at trick two?” began North. “Continue by overtaking the heart queen with dummy’s ace and lead the heart 10.

Defrocked Cardinal Theodore McCarrick criminally charged with sexual assault of teen nearly 50 years ago Tribune Content Agency Former U.S. Catholic Cardinal Theodore McCarrick was charged Wednesday with sexually assaulting a 16-year-old boy nearly 50 years ago, court documents show. McCarrick, who was defrocked by the Vatican in 2019 over sexual abuse allegations, was charged with three counts of indecent assault and battery on a person over 14, according to The Boston Globe. The 91-year-old former archbishop of Washington, D.C., was charged with assaulting a teenager during a wedding reception in Massachusetts in 1974. The complaint was filed by Wellesley Police in Dedham District Court. McCarrick, once one of the country’s most influential Catholic leaders, rose to the top of the Catholic Church in the U.S. after he was ordained as a priest of the Archdiocese of New York in 1958. He is the first cardinal to ever be criminally charged with sexually assaulting a minor, a lawyer representing the man alleging the abuse told The Associated Press. “It takes an enormous amount of courage for a sexual abuse victim to report having been sexually abused to inves-

In brief Jill Biden to undergo medical procedure

First lady Jill Biden will undergo a medical procedure Thursday to remove an object lodged in her left foot, a White House official said. Biden stepped on the unknown object while walking on a beach during an official event in Hawaii over the weekend, spokesman Michael LaRosa said in a statement. The procedure will be done at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, where President Biden was expected to join her. The president also accompanied his wife just three months ago for what the White House described as a “common medical procedure.” The administration did not provide details about the April incident, but it said she “tolerated the procedure well.”

Italy battles hundreds of wildfires ROME — Italy’s emergency services continued to battle wildfires across the country on Thursday. The regions sent 34 requests for support from firefighting aircraft, the country’s civil defence authority said Thursday evening. The requests came from Calabria in the south; Lazio, where the capital Rome is located; and the islands of Sicily and Sardinia. The defence authority was unable to send planes to three of the fires, so firefighters had to continue to battle the flames from the ground. Most of the fires started due to careless or malicious behavior, the authority said. The fire service said they were attending 240 bush fires nationwide. Fires have been raging on the resort island of Sardinia since last weekend, widespread causing destruction and millions of dollars’ worth of damage. Drought, heat and some strong winds in recent days have helped the flames to spread. — Tribune Content Agency

tigators and proceed through the criminal process,” Mitchell Garabedian said. “Let the facts be presented, the law applied, and a fair verdict rendered.” In January the man told authorities that during his brother’s wedding reception at Wellesley College in June 1974, McCarrick told him that his father wanted the two to have a conversation because the then-16-year-old was “being mischievous at home and not attending church.” The two went for a walk around campus, when McCarrick groped him, according to report. The man also alleges that when they returned to the reception, McCarrick took him into a small room where he fondled his genitals while “saying prayers to make me feel holy.”

Cardinal Theodore McCarrick participates during a news conference denouncing growing intolerance against the Islamic faith in Washington, D.C., Sept. 7, 2010. McCarrick was charged Wednesday with sexually assaulting a 16-yearold boy nearly 50 years ago, court documents show. In 2018, McCarrick was removed from public ministry, over allegations that he had sexually abused an altar boy in New York. In February 2019, Pope Francis confirmed the removal from the priesthood of McCarrick, who

was then 88, after a panel of the Congregation for Doctrine of the Faith found him guilty on Jan. 11. According to the National Catholic Reporter, the Vatican announced its decision

saying that McCarrick was guilty of “solicitation in the sacrament of confession and sins against the Sixth Commandment with minors and with adults, with the aggravating factor of the abuse of power.” McCarrick appealed the decision, but the appeal was rejected. In November 2020, an explosive 449-page report found that the late Pope John Paul II knew about sexual misconduct allegations against McCarrick years before he was removed from priesthood. The unprecedented investigation, which took two years to complete, also found that the late pontiff, as well as highranking church officials, helped to dismiss or downplay sexual abuse charges against McCarrick. The report also sug-

gested that John Paul II could have been blinded by his previous friendship with the ex-cardinal. “Though there is no direct evidence, it appears likely from the information obtained that John Paul II’s past experience in Poland regarding the use of spurious allegations against bishops to degrade the standing of the Church played a role in his willingness to believe McCarrick’s denials,” according to a summary of the report. McCarrick, who now lives in Missouri, was summoned to appear in court for arraignment on Sept. 3. His attorney, Barry Coburn, declined to comment, but said that “we will look forward to addressing this issue in the courtroom,” according to The Boston Globe.

Tribune Content Agency With the seventh pick in Thursday’s draft, the Warriors selected Jonathan Kuminga, a physically gifted forward who played last season for the G League Ignite. The 18-year-old Kuminga averaged 15.8 points, 7.2 rebounds and 2.7 assists playing in Walnut Creek as part of the G League Ignite

program, a first-of-itskind developmental team that mixed top college-aged prospects (including No. 2 pick Jalen Green) with seasoned professionals such as Jarrett Jack. Once considered an option to be selected first in this draft, Kuminga offered the most upside of anyone left on the board and joins second-year center James

Wiseman as potential future building blocks for when Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson and Draymond Green age out of their primes. The former five-star recruit had his name called while in the draft green room at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, N.Y. “Me being selected by Golden State, it’s the perfect team for my career,” Kuminga,

Giants take another series from Dodgers, hit trade deadline leading NL West Tribune Content Agency SAN FRANCISCO — The Dodgers are the reigning World Series champions and the Padres appear to be the club most aggressively pursuing high-profile upgrades, but heading into Friday’s trade deadline, the Giants will hold a 3-game lead in the National League West. In a loaded division that was supposed to be a two-team race between the Southern California powers, it’s the Giants who’ve been in the lead for two months as they clinched a second consecutive

series win over the Dodgers with a dominant 5-0 victory on Thursday at Oracle Park. Starter Johnny Cueto dazzled for 5 2/3 scoreless innings, shortstop Brandon Crawford returned from the injured list and immediately gave the Giants an early lead and a bullpen that’s been the best in the majors over the last two months shut down the Dodgers. Giants president of baseball operations Farhan Zaidi and general manager Scott Harris have worked the phones all week in pursuit of deals that will give the club a better chance of winning

the division and playing deep into October, but San Francisco has consistently proven it can match up with the best clubs in baseball and this week’s series was the latest proof. All five of the runs the Giants scored Thursday came with two outs as an offense that leads the National League in homers was able to manufacture offense to clinch a series against the Dodgers.

Kings select Baylor point guard Davion Mitchell with No. 9 pick Tribune Content Agency SACRAMENTO — The Kings selected Baylor guard Davion Mitchell with the No. 9 pick in the NBA draft Thursday at Barclays Center in Brooklyn. The Kings passed on Arkansas guard Moses Moody, UConn guard James Bouknight and Turkish big man Alperen Sengun to select Mitchell, a 6-foot-1 1/4 point guard with a big reputation for defense. Mitchell, widely regarded as one of the best defenders in the draft, averaged 14.0 points, 5.5 assists, 2.7 rebounds and 1.9 steals as a junior at Baylor, leading the Bears to their first NCAA championship. Mitchell shot 51.1% from the field and 44.7% from 3-point range, but converted just 64.1% of his free-throw attempts. ESPN analysts described Mitchell as a relentless driver and tenacious defender, calling him the “best on-ball defender in this draft.” There were no surprises at the top of the draft as the Detroit Pistons selected Cade Cunningham with the No. 1 pick, the Houston Rockets took Jalen Green with the No. 2 pick and the Cleveland Cavaliers took Evan Mobley at No. 3. The Toronto Raptors passed on Jalen Suggs to pick Scottie Barnes at No. 4, allowing the Orlando Magic to take Suggs at No. 5. The Oklahoma City Thunder made an unexpected choice in selection Australian point guard Josh Giddey with the No. 6 pick.

Davion Mitchell on the red carpet during the NBA Draft at the Barclays Center, Thursday, in New York. The Golden State Warriors picked Jonathan Kuminga with the No. 7 pick and Franz Wagner went to Orlando at No. 8, leaving the Kings with their choice of Bouknight, Moody, Alperen Sengun and Mitchell. The Kings made their selection hours after their trade talks with the Los Angeles Lakers were torpedoed by a blockbuster deal involving nine-time All-Star and former MVP Russell Westbrook. Discussion of a deal that would have sent Kings guard Buddy Hield to the Lakers came to an abrupt end when the Lakers pivoted to acquire Westbrook from the Washington Wizards instead. The Lakers were reportedly willing to offer some combination of Kyle Kuzma, Montrezl Harrell, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope and the No. 22 pick in the NBA draft in a deal for Hield.

ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski reported there was momentum toward the completion of a deal at 2 p.m. when Harrell picked up his $9.7 million player option for next season, but 16 minutes later The Athletic’s Shams Charania reported the Lakers were discussing a deal that would send Kuzma, Harrell, Caldwell-Pope and draft compensation to the Wizards for Westbrook. One of the hang-ups in a potential Kings-Lakers deal was Harrell’s decision to opt in for next season. When Wojnarowski reported Harrell was opting in, he noted the decision would allow the Lakers to “move toward completing a deal to acquire Kings guard Buddy Hield,” although he noted the deal had not been agreed upon. That conversation changed quickly when Charania reported the Lakers and Wizards

were in serious talks on a trade that would send Westbrook, a ninetime All-Star and former MVP, to Los Angeles to join LeBron James and Anthony Davis. Wojnarowski confirmed the Lakers and Wizards were nearing a deal. At 5:15 p.m., shortly after the start of the draft, Charania reported the Wizards had agreed to send Westbrook to the Lakers for Kuzma, Harrell, Caldwell-Pope and the No. 22 pick in the draft. In the second round, the Kings drafted Utah State center Neemias Queta with the 39th over pick. The 7-footer from Portugal was one of four finalists for the 2020-21 Naismith Defensive Player of the Year award. and holds the USU records for blocks in a career (219), single season (97) and single game (nine).

Jones: Has played in 617 games as pro From Page B1 average, 10 home runs and 55 RBI. Jones has never reached higher than Double-A but is a veteran of 617 games over a professional career that began in 2010. He has 2,221 professional minor league at bats with a career .285 batting average, 399 runs scored, 632 hits, 114 doubles, 24 triples and 34 home runs. Jones also has 268 RBIs and 147 stolen bases. The Mexican lineup includes former big leaguers Adrian Gonzalez, Danny Espinosa and Oliver Perez. The team is

coached by former MLB utility infielder Benji Gil. Mexico qualified for the Olympics by finishing third at the WBSC Premiere12 in 2019, featuring the 12 best international teams in a tournament organized by the World Baseball Softball Confederation. Jones helped Mexico clinch a berth by beating Team USA in the bronze medal game. Jones had a stellar prep career at Vanden that landed him a fullride scholarship to Long Beach State. He was drafted in the 29th round of the 2010 MLB Amateur Draft and was pick No. 876 overall, going to the

Toronto Blue Jays. The Olympic baseball tournament began Thursday night against the Dominican Republic. Mexico will play Friday at 8 p.m. PDT against the host nation, Japan. Jones has an Instagram account that he stays active on and can be found @jonnnyjones. One of his last Instagram posts was for his late friend Ryan Bartlett, who died of cancer at the age of 22 in Jan. 11, 2012, and how much Bartlett would have loved Jones playing in the Olympics. The post reads: “As the (Opening Ceremonies) night winds down...

all I can think about is my boy Ryan Bartlett! He would be loving this.!! Unfortunately, he isn’t here physically, but I know he is here with me! I’m going to bring you back a ball and make sure it gets in McCovey Cove. RIP Bart...I miss you everyday.” Jones is one of four Solano County residents competing in the Olympics. Racewalkers Robyn Stephens and Nick Christie of Vacaville are competing for the U.S. Former Fairfield resident Luis Grijalva will run the 5,000 meters in track and field for Guatemala.

Tony Gonsolin (Vacaville) of the Los Angeles Dodgers bounced back from one his worst outings of the season with arguably his best. The former Bulldog took the loss against the San Francisco

Giants on July 19 after giving up three runs on five hits with three strikeouts and four walks in 3 1/3 innings. He then threw 5 1/3 shutout innings against the Colorado Rockies on July 24, giving up two hits and two walks while fanning seven.

calmatters commentary

Early recall election could backfire on Gov. Newsom

ov. Gavin Newsom and his pals in the Legislature thought they were being clever when they advanced the date of his recall election several weeks to Sept. 14. At the time, less than a month ago, events seemed to be going Newsom’s way and an earlier election would, they believed, take advantage of those circumstances while giving his enemies less time to persuade voters to oust him. Newsom had lifted the personal and economic restrictions he imposed to battle Covid-19, the economy seemed to be picking up, he had signed a state budget loaded with cash payments and other new benefits, and he was launching an extensive tour of the state to tell voters that it was “roaring back.” It’s possible, however, that advancing the election will backfire on Newsom because events are no longer going his Dan Walters way. A new strain of Covid-19 is hitting the state hard, wildfires are burning out of control and drought has led to shortages of water. Newsom interrupted his “roaring back” tour this week to impose vaccination mandates on some public employees and health care workers, urge private employers to do the same and beg millions of Californians who have shunned vaccinations to get the shots. Foremost, from a purely political standpoint, a new statewide poll shows him just breaking even among voters who are most likely to cast ballots on the recall. The poll, conducted by the Institute of Governmental Studies at the University of California, Berkeley, found that 50% of likely voters favor Newsom, but nearly as many, 47%, favor the recall. While Newsom enjoys a strong lead among all registered voters, the poll said Republicans are highly motivated to turn out and vote against the governor, while Democrats and independents tend to be apathetic. “The higher GOP turnout is being driven by several factors,” poll director Mark DiCamillo said. “First, Republicans express far greater interest in voting in the recall election than Democrats or No Party Preference voters. “Second, there is a widespread expectation among Democrats and No Party Preference voters that Newsom will defeat the recall, which may be fostering greater complacency among recall opponents than among supporters. “Third, voters in most jurisdictions will see only two questions on the recall ballot, the Yes/ No vote on the governor’s recall and who should replace Newsom if he were to be recalled. The very limited nature of the two-question ballot contrasts with other statewide elections in which voters are drawn to the polls by numerous state and local candidate and proposition races.” Election Day is less than seven weeks away and mail ballots will be available in mid-August. By a 10 percentage point margin, likely voters say California is on the “wrong track” and all of the current negative factors, particularly fires and the new surge in Covid-19, are likely to worsen over the next few weeks. Newsom will be under pressure to take more aggressive steps to curb the revived pandemic, such as imposing new mask-wearing or vaccination mandates. Schools are set to reopen during the voting period and how they will do so is still somewhat uncertain. Will local school systems insist that teachers be vaccinated as a condition of returning to the classroom? Newsom was asked about that, but ducked the question. With Covid-19 once again flaring up, no one knows how many parents will keep their kids at home. It’s a political minefield and the Berkeley IGS poll indicates that Newsom must do more to motivate friendly voters to cast ballots while avoiding major mistakes, or the earlier election will blow up in his face.

was also an error, an error that has caused the price of a gallon of gasoline to rise by more than a dollar all over the country. His decision to cancel the pipeline was based on a promise he made to the environmental groups that he would honor his promise to them on “day one” of his administration. If you hadn’t noticed – which I’m sure you have – the inflation gauge has jumped to its highest level in years. But of course, Biden knew the eco-freaks would criticize him if he let the pipeline be completed. What is disturbing is that President Biden seems to be in the pocket of the far-left, or progressives, as they prefer to be called. You may have noticed that he frequently has trouble when speaking in front of a microphone. Fox News – who else? – recently offered a montage of Biden’s verbal stumbles, including when he forgot the name of his defense chief, Lloyd Austin. Of course, Republicans don’t want him to stumble so often that Kamala Harris becomes president. On the other hand, it might be entertaining to watch her laugh raucously at every question that makes her feel uncomfortable. Bud Stevenson, a retired stockbroker, lives in Fairfield.

Americans crossed the line. Similarly, President Joe Biden has reportedly warned Putin that he will retaliate against Russian state interests – perhaps through cyberattacks, perhaps through economic sanctions or other means – if large-scale cyberattacks continue. The logic is sound. Proxy attacks won’t stop until U.S. rivals start to fear that they will suffer more from the American response than they gain from the initial probe. Showing that the U.S. will respond asymmetrically – that it reserves the right to strike back across multiple domains – can inject greater uncertainty into these countries’ calculus. And as analyst Michael Knights argues, if Washington can resist publicly crowing about its operations, it can avoid making its enemies feel as though they have no choice but to continue the cycle. Even so, retaliating against a sponsor doesn’t always do the trick. Trump may have shocked the Iranian government by killing Soleimani, but the militia attacks resumed not long thereafter. The root of the problem is that it is hard for a distracted superpower to win contests of coercion and resolve against committed rivals – and the U.S. is the very definition of a distracted superpower vis-a-vis Russia and Iran right now, because it is so visibly trying to focus on China. The Biden administration, like the Trump administration, is trying to signal that it is losing patience with proxy attacks. Proving that point may require a degree of sustained reprisal – and sustained confrontation – that will take Biden considerably further than he wants to go.

From ‘Real World’ to ‘Teen Mom’ –

MTV paved way for reality TV

Tribune Content Agency MTV, which turns 40 on Sunday, gets plenty of attention for its impact on music, and it’s easy to see why. In its early years as a 24/7 video jukebox, MTV completely changed the way pop music was consumed and promoted, and served as a booster rocket for the careers of Michael Jackson, Madonna, Britney Spears and many others. But MTV’s impact on television – and reality TV in particular – is perhaps even more pervasive. From fare like “The Real World,” “The Osbournes” and “The Hills,” to “Jersey Shore,” “Jackass” and “Teen Mom,” MTV deserves abundant credit – or blame – for molding an entire genre and changing the nature of celebrity. It all begins with “The Real World,” according to Amanda Ann Klein, author of “Millennials Killed the Video Star – MTV’s Transition to Reality Programming.” The reality series, which premiered in 1992, took seven young strangers from different walks of life and plopped them, like lab rats, into a house and forced them to live together as the cameras kept rolling. “At the time, ‘The Real World’ looked like nothing else on television,” Klein says. “It proved that you could generate conflict and drama simply by putting a group of people together and allowing clashes to happen. And that you could create a story through editing. These people weren’t famous. They weren’t performers. . . . It was groundbreaking.” And transformative. By the

early 2000s, MTV’s target audience of Gen Xers was giving way to millennials. Social media was on the rise, selfbranding was becoming a thing and MTV research found that these new young viewers yearned to be part of the media they consumed. Bring on a seismic shift in programming. Major milestones in the evolution included “The Hills” (2006), a slick and sexy saga that followed aspiring fashion designer Lauren Conrad and a few attractive young residents of Los Angeles. Then, there was “Jersey Shore” (2009), which served up broad stereotypes of Italian Americans as it focused on eight housemates in a vacation home. Later came “Teen Mom” (2009), a jarring look at the trials of young women navigating motherhood. These shows brought big ratings to MTV and gave rise to multiple imitators. And they all sparked very different cultural conversations, according to Klein, an associate professor of film studies at East Carolina University, “With ‘The Hills,’ the question was: Is this even a reality show? It was just so beautiful and some scenes were reshot,” she says. “Also, it was a big part of the pre-recession opulence that you see a lot of on TV. You were basically watching young white women consume things.” As for the post-recession “Jersey Shore,” it generated massive amounts of controversy for its portrayal of so-called “Guidos” and “Guidettes.” “It had critics debating: Is it a stereotype if you embrace it and use it? Is it exploitive?” recalls Klein “. . . Are the (cast members) laughing all the way

to the bank?” Then with “Teen Mom,” the question became: Is it encouraging teen pregnancy? One study found just the opposite. While gathering research for her book, Klein was struck by the glaring differences between “The Hills” and “Teen Mom.” “One show is very glamorous and made Lauren Conrad a star,” she points out. “The other results in a long, sad, tragic story that includes domestic abuse, alcoholism and jail sentences. Both shows made MTV a lot of money.” But the granddaddy of them all was “The Real World.” It’s a landmark series that was a breeding ground for mostly everything we now see on “Big Brother,” “Real Housewives,” et al. And it spawned the key reality TV components that viewers now take for granted, such as the isolated, fourthwall confessionals made by cast members. Before “The Real World” devolved into what one critic called “a sleazy hot-tub Olympics,” it was more about social experimentation and the earnest quest to achieve at least a few learning moments. The show hit its zenith in 1994 with a season set in San Francisco. That’s when a gracious gay cast member, Pedro Zamora, showed the world what it was like to live through the final stages of AIDS. “It was a rare example of someone wanting to be cast in a reality TV show specifically for activism,” Klein says. “It helped America better understand AIDS by putting a face on a terrifying crisis. And it remains one of the most important seasons of television ever made.”

West would have done best to lead the ace and another trump, but understandably he selected the club jack: queen, ace, ruff. Declarer could see 10 tricks (two spades, six hearts, one diamond and one club), but how could he reach the dummy to cash the club king? South fired off the heart eight at trick two, but West felt the hairs rise on the back of his neck. He won with the ace and returned his heart five. Declarer drew the last trump before playing a spade toward dummy’s jack. However, East, after capturing the jack with his king, shifted to the diamond jack. South took the finesse, but it lost.

Doc chronicles Obama’s youth Chuck Barney East Bay Times

on’t miss: “Obama: In the Pursuit of a More Perfect Union” – As the country continues to grapple with its racial history, this compelling documentary series chronicles Barack Obama’s youth, his rise in politics and his challenging eight-year presidency. Over three parts, it examines how his ascension to the White House was a historic step forward for the United States, but also exposed the lingering need to address issues of racial justice and the country’s checkered past. And through a present-day lens, it strives to reflect on the Obama administration with a new understanding of the personal obstacles he faced. (9 p.m. ET Tuesday, HBO). Other bets: Sunday: From executive producer Cedric the Entertainer comes the new dramedy series “Johnson.” It follows four Atlanta-based Black men who met in grade school and have been best friends ever since – and they all happen to have the same last name – Johnson. But, hey, no relation. (8 p.m., Bounce). Monday: It’s time for those pressure-packed hometown visits on “The Bachelorette.” With the stakes so high, Katie has a tense fallout with one of the guys. Can she patch things up enough to convince him (and herself) to stay – or is she ready to call it quits? (8 p.m., ABC). Monday: The unscripted series “Small Town News: KPVM Pahrump” delivers an entertaining glimpse into a scrappy, hardworking local news broadcaster looking to expand during challenging times. With a population of just over 37,000, Pahrump is a desert town 62 miles west of Las Vegas. (9 p.m., HBO). Tuesday: On “Lego Masters,” the remaining contestants are challenged to create incredible and wearable hats made entirely of Lego bricks. Then, the competition heightens as they’re tasked with building a beauti-

ful structure in midair. (8 p.m., Fox). Wednesday: Celebrities who can’t really cook, but desperately want to are fueling a suddenly robust culinary genre. Now, Paris Hilton gets her shot. In “Cooking With Paris,” the heiress/socialite/ reality TV star invites viewers into her kitchen as she attempts to saute, sear and zest with some of her famous friends. (Netflix). Wednesday: “Cocaine Cowboys: The Kings of Miami” is a six-part true-crime series about two childhood friends – Augusto “Willy” Falcon and Salvador “Sal” Magluta – who went from being high school dropouts to the most powerful drug kingpins in Miami. They managed to outrun prosecution for decades before the chase finally came to an end. (Netflix). Thursday: Are you ready for some football? Really? . . . In early August?

Sign-up window for free COBRA coverage for many laid-off workers closes this week Tribune Content Agency After being laid off from her job as a systems analyst for a specialty chemicals company in December, Gabriela de Pompignan opted to hang on to her former employer’s insurance coverage under the federal law known as COBRA. Typically, laidoff workers pick up the total cost of premiums under COBRA, but her company paid roughly 75% of the expense for the first six months, leaving de Pompignan with a $659 monthly bill for the family plan covering her, her husband and their 9-year-old son. Since both de Pompignan and her husband, a lawyer, were unemployed, her company’s temporary financial support was crucial to making their premiums affordable. What de Pompignan didn’t realize, however, was that she was eligible for an even better deal. Under the American Rescue Plan Act that President Joe Biden signed in March, COBRA premiums for laid-off workers are covered in full by federal funding for six months from April through September. Neither her former employer nor the company administering COBRA benefits for her workplace told her about that option. Under federal rules, she should have been sent a notice by May 31 informing her about the subsidy, which is generally available to people who were involuntarily laid off or whose hours were reduced and who are eligible for continued employer coverage under COBRA. For people like de Pompignan who lost their jobs before April 1, the window to take advantage of the subsidized coverage is closing. They have 60 days from the date their employer notified them of the COBRA subsidy to sign up for it – that’s July 31 if their employer notified them at the end of May. People notified earlier may have already missed their opportunity. People can sign up for the subsidy even if they didn’t elect COBRA coverage earlier, or if they

COBRA premiums for laid-off workers are covered in full by federal funding for six months, through September, had COBRA earlier and dropped it because it was too expensive or for another reason. Those laid off or furloughed after April 1 have 60 days to sign up for regular COBRA coverage and the temporary financial assistance. De Pompignan learned about the subsidy only because she happened upon a news story that described it. “I don’t know their reasons for not communicating this option to us,” said de Pompignan, 45, who lives with her family in Mendham, New Jersey. “But I did feel frustrated.” She added that many workers who have been laid off “could be struggling to get their health insurance paid for during such difficult times.” In a statement to KHN, Trion Group, the company that administers her former employer’s COBRA coverage, said, “As a COBRA administrator, we rely on our clients to provide us information on which of their former employees are eligible for the ARPA subsidy. Once we were notified of the error in Ms. de Pom-

pignan’s initial status, we immediately made the change in our system and sent her eligibility notification.” Consumer advocates say they’re worried many more people may have been left in the dark about the subsidy since notices weren’t required to be sent to former workers until the end of May, two months after the benefit started. “Even if everybody got the notices out on time, are folks reading them and understanding what they’re eligible for and what their options are?” said Katie Keith, an associate research professor at Georgetown University’s Center on Health Insurance Reforms. Karen Pollitz, a senior fellow at KFF, said she talked with some people who were notified promptly, while others weren’t informed about the subsidy until the very end of May and had to get reimbursed for the first two months of the subsidized premiums. (KHN is an editorially independent program of KFF.) The Department of Labor said it has

but consumer advocates say they’re worried many more people may have been left in the dark about the subsidy. “conducted extensive outreach and education to promote awareness of the available premium assistance” to help workers and employers. The outreach includes virtual webcasts and webinars, social media, radio and TV public service announcements, billboards and posters, according to Labor officials. They added that consumers or employers with questions can contact the department online or by phone. Under federal COBRA law, people can generally choose to continue their employer health coverage for up to 18 months after being laid off. They usually have 60 days to decide, though that deadline has been extended while the pandemic continues. The law applies to employers with 20 or more employees. Without the special federal subsidy, however, it’s a pricey benefit: People are usually responsible for the entire premium plus a 2% administrative fee. People who work at smaller companies – those with fewer than 20 employees – that are located in

states that have so-called mini-COBRA coverage continuation laws can also take advantage of the subsidy. But there’s a catch: To qualify, workers generally must already have elected COBRA continuation coverage before April 1 or become eligible after that. Getting the word out was hampered by the program’s short time frame. It was challenging for employers to figure out who was eligible for the subsidy and get notices out within such a tight timeline, experts said. The law passed in March, and guidance from the Department of Labor and the IRS about implementing the law came in April and May. Notices to workers were due May 31. “My sense is that employers were working around the clock to make sure the notices went out,” said Katy Johnson, senior counsel for health policy at the American Benefits Council, which represents large employers. But as de Pompignan’s experience illustrates, some people slipped through the cracks. With her employer

subsidy running out in June, de Pompignan called the service center at Trion Group to find out what her coverage options were. The representative who answered the phone suggested de Pompignan look into marketplace plans. After de Pompignan saw the news story about the COBRA subsidy, she contacted her former employer to ask if she was eligible. The answer was yes, she likely was. It was only then that she received the paperwork. De Pompignan, who paid her portion of the COBRA premium for April, May and June, said she’s been assured she’ll be reimbursed. Because de Pompignan’s job loss was initially incorrectly coded as “voluntary” by her employer, Infineum, “[it] caused the Trion system to exclude her from communications regarding the federal subsidy,” according to Hedy DiSimoni, the human resources benefits and payroll leader at Infineum. De Pompignan will receive a refund for the first three months of premiums she paid before being notified, DiSimoni said. Once the subsidy ends in September, de Pompignan said, she’s not sure what her family will do if she and her husband are still unemployed. They could continue their COBRA coverage, paying the full premium. They’ll also have an opportunity to sign up for coverage on the state marketplace, under a special enrollment period. For some people, marketplace coverage may be a better option. Anyone who received unemployment insurance benefits for even one week this year can receive a silver-level plan without premiums and with costsharing assistance, which could dramatically reduce their out-of-pocket costs, said Sabrina Corlette, a research professor at the Georgetown University Center on Health Insurance Reforms. “It’ll probably have a lower deductible than a COBRA plan, and it doesn’t turn off after September,” Corlette said.

Attendants: Airlines must do more to address unruly passengers Tribune Content Agency As air travel demand increases, a vast majority of flight attendants say they have dealt with unruly passengers and nearly 1 in 5 experienced a physical incident, including shoving, kicking seats and harassing flight crews at airports, according to a survey of flight attendants released Thursday. The Assn. of Flight Attendants-CWA conducted the survey of nearly 5,000 flight attendants across 30 airlines to pressure airlines and government officials to take stronger measures against passengers who verbally or physically abuse flight crews. “This survey confirms what we all know: the vitriol, verbal and physical abuse from a small group of passengers is completely out of control, and is putting other passengers and flight crew at risk,” Sara Nelson, president of the association, said in a statement. She called on the Federal Aviation Administration to continue its “zero-tolerance” policy against unruly behavior and pursue more criminal

A flight attendant, wearing one mask, demonstrates the use of an oxygen mask at the outset of flight from Burbank to Las Vegas in June. A survey of flight attendants found unruly passengers are an ongoing problem. prosecutions of violators. The survey found that 85% of flight attendants have dealt with unruly passengers and 71% of those who filed incident reports with airline management said they received no follow-up. Most said they have not seen efforts by airlines to address the rise in unruly passengers, according to the survey. Airlines for America, a trade group for the nation’s air carriers, wrote a letter to the U.S. attorney general last month, expressing concern over the rising numbers of inci-

dents and urging federal authorities to crack down on passengers who misbehave on planes. “We ask that more be done to deter egregious behavior, which is in violation of federal law and crewmember instruction,” according to the letter. Air travel demand has been rising steadily for the last few months but still represents only about 65% of the passenger totals reported in the same period in 2019, according to industry statistics. According to federal reports, the number of incidents of unruly pas-

sengers on U.S.-based airlines began to surge in February, shortly after the federal government mandated that all passengers wear masks during a flight, except when eating and drinking. This year, airlines have reported 3,615 incidents of unruly passengers, with most of the incidents – 2,666 – related to disputes over the mask mandate, according to the Federal Aviation Administration. The rise of incidents comes despite FAA Administrator Steve Dickson issuing a zero-tolerance order in January

against unruly behavior. Instead of receiving warnings or being required to seek counseling, violators now face criminal prosecution or fines of as much as $35,000. The survey of flight attendants confirmed that mask compliance, alcohol and routine safety reminders were the primary cause of unruly behavior. Flight delays and cancellations were also common factors in the ugly onboard incidents, the survey found. One flight attendants quoted in the survey said: “I’ve been yelled at, cursed at and threatened countless times in the last year and the most that has come out if has been a temporary suspension of travel for the passenger. We need real consequences if flight attendants are ever going to feel safe at work again.” The report did not identify the airline where that flight attendant works. Soon after the pandemic struck in the spring of 2020, most airlines adopted policies that require passengers to wear masks. The U.S. Department of Transpor-

tation imposed a federal mask mandate that took effect Feb. 1 of this year. Violators face a fine of $250 for the first offense and as much as $1,500 for repeat offenses. In addition, the FAA can also impose criminal prosecution and civil penalties for unruly behavior. The rising number of ugly scenes on flights prompted several FAA staff to record a public service announcement this summer, urging passengers to behave on planes. But since the FAA did not have funding for a PSA, several FAA staff videotaped their own children to give the message. Among those children in the video was Benjamin, the 9-year-old son of Kristina Harris, an FAA communications strategist Tucson. “Fighting is not good when you are on a plane,” the boy said in the video. The video was launched in early July, timed to appear before the Fourth of July travel surge. “I think we had the right combination of ideas,” Harris said. “Let’s have the kids carry this message.”

Giants: Crawford rips his 250th double

Dodgers left-hander David Price with two outs and the bases loaded in the first inning and poked a two-run double down the third base line to give the Giants a lead they wouldn’t relinquish. “I think we’ve had several of those moments come up over the last 10 days and we haven’t been able to capitalize on many of them,” manager Gabe Kapler said. “I think it’s just important to have Craw’s presence in the lineup.” The double marked the 250th of Crawford’s career and his 59th and 60th RBIs of the season extended his team lead. The Giants added on against Price in the second on a rally that started when Cueto legged out an infield hit on a high chopper past the

mound. After left fielder Austin Slater reached on a fielder’s choice, Wilmer Flores drilled an RBI double into right center field. Two innings later, it was Slater who brought left fielder Thairo Estrada home from second with a two-out single that landed in front of Dodgers center fielder A.J. Pollock. The Giants’ fifth and final run of the game was a significant moment for left-handed hitter LaMonte Wade Jr., who came to the plate in the seventh inning 0 for 31 against lefthanded pitchers in his major league career. On the first pitch of an at-bat against southpaw Victor González, Wade crushed a double into the left-center-field gap that allowed second baseman Donovan Solano to score all the way from first. After a rough start

in a walk. With the bases loaded and two outs, Kapler went to the mound to chat with Cueto, who had only thrown 77 pitches, before calling on reliever Jarlín García from the bullpen. “I want to play in October,” García said. “I want to experience playing baseball in October and that’s what we’re all striving for.” In just three pitches, García everso-slightly boosted the team’s chances. With Cody Bellinger at the plate representing the tying run, García struck out the Dodgers first baseman to end the threat and keep Cueto’s scoreless outing intact, which the starter greatly appreciated. “I think I’m going to buy him a bottle of wine and shoes from Louis Vuitton,” Cueto said.

to the month, Cueto has been much improved over his last three outings and turned in his best performance since the right-hander shut out the A’s over seven innings in a 2-0 victory on June 25. “He had really good body control today and the fastball was as good as we’ve seen it in a really long,” Kapler said. In his first start against the Dodgers this season, Cueto worked five efficient innings before encountering trouble in the sixth when second baseman Donovan Solano misplayed a potential inning-ending double play ball. A bobble from Solano cost Cueto a chance to pitch much deeper into Thursday’s game as he allowed a single to Max Muncy before losing a 10-pitch battle against Justin Turner that ended
